What are Twiggy's made of?

Chevre, right? At least, the sides of the back are, not the handles or the bottom, correct?

There's a seller on eBay right now with an elaborate description of their 05 Twiggy that never mentions chevre or goat leather - says it's authentic calfskin Twiggy, which is what got me to thinking about the whole thing. The Twiggies I've seen do seem heavier than the Firsts and Cities - but I thought they were still partly goatskin. Now, I'm thinking I could be wrong.

The pricing I have for Twiggies from 05 states that retail price back then was $995, today it's $1095. Does that sound right?

Thanks, Izitso. Something about the whole auction made me wary - the seller has a real attitude. I was just telling my DH that it's enough that I'm willing to spend on these bags - to be treated rudely (at all) by a seller just isn't going to convince me to buy - no matter how rare or what the color.

I could change my mind if an authentic and lovely Rose Twiggy came up, though.

@babymoghi

arent all b bags out of the same leather??
hmm, i find it soo annoying on eBay when sellers 'actually" explain the bag and describe it. surely if someone wants the real deal, they dont want to know whether its leather or not, dimensions, etc etc..
and often as above mentioned actually describe it wrong which makes them look so silly
